Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
I'm using an Asus U81. It has an elantech touchpad. The touchpad
technically works, including multitouch (two finger scrolling, and
three-finger "right click"). However, it is not recognized as a
touchpad, and as a result, there is no way to affect the settings.
I've been through every troubleshooting option around.
Problem is consistent in both 9.04 and the 9.10 alpha.

I have a feeling the fact that it's seeing this as a logitech wheel
mouse, has something to do with the problem. I've just been unable to
convince it otherwise.
